* lightnvm: pblk: fix race condition on GCHeiner Litz2019-02-111-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch fixes a race condition where a write is mapped to the last sectors of a line. The write is synced to the device but the L2P is not updated yet. When the line is garbage collected before the L2P update is performed, the sectors are ignored by the GC logic and the line is freed before all sectors are moved. When the L2P is finally updated, it contains a mapping to a freed line, subsequent reads of the corresponding LBAs fail. This patch introduces a per line counter specifying the number of sectors that are synced to the device but have not been updated in the L2P. Lines with a counter of greater than zero will not be selected for GC.

* lightnvm: pblk: support packed metadataIgor Konopko2018-12-111-4/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | pblk performs recovery of open lines by storing the LBA in the per LBA metadata field. Recovery therefore only works for drives that has this field. This patch adds support for packed metadata, which store l2p mapping for open lines in last sector of every write unit and enables drives without per IO metadata to recover open lines. After this patch, drives with OOB size <16B will use packed metadata and metadata size larger than16B will continue to use the device per IO metadata.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There is a number of places in the lightnvm subsystem where the user iterates over the ppa list. Before iterating, the user must know if it is a single or multiple LBAs due to vector commands using either the nvm_rq ->ppa_addr or ->ppa_list fields on command submission, which leads to open-coding the if/else statement. Instead of having multiple if/else's, move it into a function that can be called by its users. A nice side effect of this cleanup is that this patch fixes up a bunch of cases where we don't consider the single-ppa case in pblk.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In pblk, we have a mempool to allocate a generic structure that we pass along workqueues. This is heavily used in the GC path in order to have enough inflight reads and fully utilize the GC bandwidth. However, the current GC path copies data to the host memory and puts it back into the write buffer. This requires a vmalloc allocation for the data and a memory copy. Thus, guaranteeing the allocation by using a mempool for the structure in itself does not give us much. Until we implement support for vector copy to avoid moving data through the host, just allocate the workqueue structure using kmalloc. This allows us to have a much smaller mempool.

* lightnvm: pblk: fail gracefully on irrec. errorJavier González2017-06-271-1/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Due to user writes being decoupled from media writes because of the need of an intermediate write buffer, irrecoverable media write errors lead to pblk stalling; user writes fill up the buffer and end up in an infinite retry loop. In order to let user writes fail gracefully, it is necessary for pblk to keep track of its own internal state and prevent further writes from being placed into the write buffer. This patch implements a state machine to keep track of internal errors and, in case of failure, fail further user writes in an standard way. Depending on the type of error, pblk will do its best to persist buffered writes (which are already acknowledged) and close down on a graceful manner. This way, data might be recovered by re-instantiating pblk. Such state machine paves out the way for a state-based FTL log.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | At the moment, line metadata is persisted on a separate work queue, that is kicked each time that a line is closed. The assumption when designing this was that freeing the write thread from creating a new write request was better than the potential impact of writes colliding on the media (user I/O and metadata I/O). Experimentation has proven that this assumption is wrong; collision can cause up to 25% of bandwidth and introduce long tail latencies on the write thread, which potentially cause user write threads to spend more time spinning to get a free entry on the write buffer. This patch moves the metadata logic to the write thread. When a line is closed, remaining metadata is written in memory and is placed on a metadata queue. The write thread then takes the metadata corresponding to the previous line, creates the write request and schedules it to minimize collisions on the media. Using this approach, we see that we can saturate the media's bandwidth, which helps reducing both write latencies and the spinning time for user writer threads.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Erase I/Os are scheduled with the following goals in mind: (i) minimize LUNs collisions with write I/Os, and (ii) even out the price of erasing on every write, instead of putting all the burden on when garbage collection runs. This works well on the current design, but is specific to the default mapping algorithm. This patch generalizes the erase path so that other mapping algorithms can select an arbitrary line to be erased instead. It also gets rid of the erase semaphore since it creates jittering for user writes.

* block: switch bios to blk_status_tChristoph Hellwig2017-06-091-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | Replace bi_error with a new bi_status to allow for a clear conversion. Note that device mapper overloaded bi_error with a private value, which we'll have to keep arround at least for now and thus propagate to a proper blk_status_t value.

* lightnvm: pblk: fix erase counters on error failJavier González2017-04-241-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When block erases fail, these blocks are marked bad. The number of valid blocks in the line was not updated, which could cause an infinite loop on the erase path. Fix this atomic counter and, in order to avoid taking an irq lock on the interrupt context, make the erase counters atomic too. Also, in the case that a significant number of blocks become bad in a line, the result is the double shared metadata buffer (emeta) to stop the pipeline until all metadata is flushed to the media. Increase the number of metadata lines from 2 to 4 to avoid this case.
